- So while you're awake, your brain is forming all of these new synaptic connections.
- synaptic connections
- synaptic transmission
- synaptic vesicles
So we do see some level of synaptic plasticity in terms of the dynamics.
- So we do see some level of synaptic plasticity in terms of the dynamics.
- So there's a pre synaptic end and a post synaptic end.
- So the three mechanisms for neuroplasticity are myelination, synaptic connection and neurogenesis.
- It's microglia that cleave off neuronal synaptic connections.
- So we study Alzheimer's mice, they've lost many of these synaptic connections.
- And there's a type of microglia that is involved in synaptic pruning.
- They are literally getting optimized for the efficient transmission of the signals across those synaptic gaps.
- They, what they do, they, they will work at the level of the synaptic coordination.
- You're you're you're, you know, releasing the influx of neurotransmitters in your brain to allow better synaptic firings.
Examples
-
There is no single event or even single type of event that causes synaptic plasticity.

It's important for maintaining synaptic connections, going for growing new neurons and certainly important for repair of damaged brains.
-
There were more synaptic connections there in not in the whole brain, in certain brain areas that made sense.
-
The only way she could be at all mobile would be through direct synaptic connections?
Fiction book (1992) -
So all these things work together to give you the best synaptic maintenance and synaptogenesis.
-
When people engage in many repetitions of an action, they strengthen their synaptic connections and create stable circuits for well-learned motor programs.
Academic text (2015) -
...we can offset the ravages of dementia by implanting memory or adjusting the synaptic connections.
-
My research has shown in some cases these types of twins can share some of the same emotions and memories due to synaptic, possibly even telepathic, convergence.
-
Ontogenetic changes in neuronal states and hence synaptic plasticity can, therefore, be ultimately traced back to extracellular signals that neurons receive.
Academic text (2017) -
The researchers discovered that exercise promotes the formation of new synaptic connections in the brain.

Etymology
Synaptic comes from synapse, which is made of the Greek parts syn- meaning 'together' and haptein meaning 'to fasten'. You can see syn- in the familiar word sync, which also means 'together'. So synaptic describes the places where nerve cells join to pass messages.
